While I understand that software is only leased.......... If I BUY SOMETHING and since the money im paying is physical, I do expect it to work, if it does not I too would look to MOD it.
I also do not agree with the leasing I also remember reading if you do not agree to the EULA then do not install and you can take it back to the company and get your money back, I have yet to find that to be true.
